DEA Bedford Masters 2

A nice win against a talented team.  We started out well, good ball control, kept our composure and didn't let their young fast guys (41, who is that kid?) break loose from us.  Jeff G and Jimmy played a nice set of give and go, from the middle to the outside and back again to score the first goal and we went into the half leading one nothing.

Second half was not a good start.  Too quick decisions, not taking the time to control the ball and not taking the simple passes.  Probably a little hyped up from the good first half.  We settled down after about 10 minutes however and got back into the swing of things.  A good back and forth game with nothing breaking loose for most of the half until they broke down the right wing then lofted a cross to a very nice diving header.  Of course we'd rather not have given out the goal, but it was good effort on their part and the guy really laid himself out for the score.

More credit to the team as with 10 minutes left we didn't let the ourselves get down and brought the pressure back to them.  Another case of the ball starting all the way in the back and coming forward on good give and goes saw Jimmy coming across the goal from close in where his quick flick brushed the goalies fingertips on it's way up, over and in.  Jeff G was there to pick it up and dump it in if needed, but it wasn't necessary.

A clear win on the third half as well, although there's a persistent rumor that there was actually one beer left, we'll have to work on that.

Let's bring the same attitude to the next game and do it again.  Remember, THURSDAY NIGHT, 8:00, Home field.  Be there!
